Pentagon’s Black Budget Tops $56 Billion
By Noah Shachtman
The Defense Department just released its king-sized, $708 billion budget for the next fiscal year.

But about $56 billion goes simply to “classified programs,” or to projects known only by their code names, like “Chalk Eagle” and “Link Plumeria.” That’s the Pentagon’s black budget.
